I can't say this'll work for you or anyone else but what helps me is just forcing myself into the tough situations enough that I desensitise myself to it. Even the non consequencial things like drive ...

Why don't you just randomly calling real businesses and stores and just start talking with them? Ask them random questions. I figure if you make enough of these calls on a regular basis, you will dese...

Thank you, did you have any blocks when you stuttered ? I stutter on words that have meaning because when I tell them it makes me vulnerable for them to know who I am. I dokt know if a speech therapis...
